The New Fit Note

Information seems to be trickling out about the new Fit Note, due to come into practice in April. The new rules mark quite a significant change to the current system of Med3s to Med6s and everything in between.

The latest guidance for GPs is available on the DWP website, and includes a straightforward summary of what’s changing and what’s not. Whilst these developments are not specific to rural practice, I had some difficulty in getting to the new guidance, so hopefully this will be useful to anyone in a similar situation.
